Comments Thread For: Parker Will Face Joshua Next - If Offer Gets "Substantial" Increase

[Fabes88]

Your talking about ego lol

The fighter here who is walking around with an ego is Aj. The other fighters aren't saying we want 50/50 they are saying we want to be pushing closer to that meaning they would still accept a fight where Aj still gets the majority but not a 80/20.

I don't see how hard that is to comprehend, if he "generated" more then he should be going for 50/50

End of.

80/20 is insulting, to anyone no matter if it's a "career high payday"

Sooner or later Aj is gonna need parker or wilder especially since he wants to be undisputed champion.

Oh wait that's right his fans would rather watch Joshua Vs Whyte 3. Because Aj has shown more interest in fighting Whyte again rather than fighting the other champions. What does that say about Aj?

I like the dude, but I Wana watch the best fight the best who doesnt?

These fights will generate a ton more purely for the fact you have two champions going head to head with recognised belts on the line. And both undefeated fighters.

That's more than enough to sell the fight to anyone.

Realistically Parker would be generating about 10% at a mega push of the income for the fight which is why 20% is fair.

Ego or no ego aj is the one making the money here he isn't a charitable foundation.

It's like I said you are being blinded by terms like 80/20. If I said ok give him a flat fee of 6 mil would you think that's fair? That's probably what he will end up walking away with which is way more than what he's got before.

Ajs fans do want to see him unify it's just we are smart enough to know the unifications were never going to happen at this point due to the ibf mandatory. Aj himself has spoke about unifying probably more than he's spoke about the Whyte rematch but that doesn't suit your agenda so im not surprise you didn't mention that

30-35% for Parker is a good deal.

Let's be real though, if you're talking about who is bringing in the revenue for the fight, Parker probably isn't even bringing in 10% of it, but obviously it can't work like that as no fight would ever get made.

As a unification fight i think anything below 30% for one of the champions is too low, even if it's not a true refection on the worth of the fighters.

"Unification" means d1ck. Nobody cares about titles. Hell, Ring still has Tyson Fury has the Heavyweight Champ. Titles are a joke period, and the fact that you are implying having an ABC title entitles you to a bigger cut shows that you're totally clueless on how the business end of boxing works.

Also he made 1.1 million on the Hughie fight and that's not counting any of the money from ticket sales or view sales.

It amazes me that anyone bought that piece of garbage PPV. Hughie should go back to chasing hedgehogs in a gypsy RV park. I think Peter Fury would've put up more of a fight. Hughie isn't even a mover, he's a runner. He lands nothing, holds all fight and expects a gift decision. He mimics his cousin Tyson's style but he's the poor man's Fury without a doubt.

You mean you don't want to see a Super Duper Ultra Mega Silver Diamond World Champ?

[Sickmerch1990]

He has a belt, and who are you to say what he deserves?

The point I was making saying he got 1.1 million was because some other posters were trying to say he got 700k which was incorrect.

I think the Aj mob just Wana price themselves out.

60/40 is fair in Aj favour obviously even 65/35.

But 20 that is ridiculous

I said it before I'll say it again hearn should put his money where his mouth is and 80% percent to the winner I'm pretty sure parker would sign right away I don't think AJ would.

why does he deserve anywere close to that he can have new zeland income aj has uk income they split the rest 60 40 to aj sounds fair enough joshua just given his money to an unknown source really parker not known beyond new zeland like saying takham or molina deserved a 50 50 cut

[juggernaut666]

Parker does a lot of movement and it will expose AJ stamina if he does not control his weight.

Parker is the easiest to hit top 10 ranked guy out there . Parkers accuracy hss been terrible his last two fights one was to a statue at 6'7 ,my guess is its bc both were tall so that doesn't hold good for Parker either in this match since Joshua is a great counter puncher even in close quarters and will be the first true power puncher hes faced .

Weight is the last thing that will be factored in this fight .

Then why do promoters like Hearn continue to talk about unifying the division if the belts mean nothing and are a joke. Why did he pay a **** fighter like Charles Martin $5m to Joshua could get one of those joke titles?


I agree it probably shouldn't matter on the business end of it. What matters is which fighter is really bringing the money in, but at the end of the day, someone like Parker and his team see themselves as a champion too and have a right to try to demand a decent cut of the money if Hearn/Joshua want a unification, seeing as they have made it clear they want belts because they have said they will never vacate and paid people like Martin well over the odds to sell his belt.

Seems like you're the one who doesn't know how the business works. You're just looking at it from Joshua's side. If the belts mean that much to Joshua's side, as they have proven it does, then Parker should be haggling to see just how important it is to them.

[SkillspayBills]

He will take whatever is given to him because the only thing he's been doing is biding his time until he could get this payday.

[Jewish-Reptile]

What fools parker is being promoted by probly made 600k for hughie fight max a 20% cut of joshua fight least 5m should be jumping at it they will price themselves out idiots at a shot of holding ibo ibf wba wbo and ring mag belts and 5m in bank parker and wilder should really fight each other the winner go to the table with aj in a much stronger postion then

'Probably' ? Lol.
He was paid £1.2m in escrow before he travelled to the UK and could have pulled out and took the money but fought and won decisively.

Probably not huh ?

[Squ□redCircle34]

And what if Hearn refuses then?

So you'll continue to fight tubby part time mechanic Mexicans and Gypsies who failed at track & fields!?

We all know you not gonna fight Wilder, you told him you'd fight him(I know, Wilder hurt his hand and you had a mandatory) so lets get it on!

Wilder take care of business Saturday, and if you and Team Hearn cant compromise then make the Wilder vs Parker fight!

That's a 6million or 7 million dollar fight would be Parker's and Wilder's biggest payday!
